  • Welcome to 7th Grade! This will be my 19th year teaching with the Jefferson City School District and my 10th year at Lewis and Clark Middle School. This will be my third year teaching social studies at the middle school level. I am excited about taking this journey and traveling back in time with your student. I have previously taught 9 years of elementary school and 7 years of teaching middle school math. I am a product of the Jefferson City School District and knew that it was the only district that I wanted to teach in! I went to Belair Elementary, Jeff Junior, TJMS, Simonsen, and JCHS. I graduated from Jefferson City High School in 1998 and will forever be a Jaybird!! I have a BS in Business Administration and Elementary Education, both from Lincoln University. In 2011, I received my eMINTS certification and couldn't be happier teaching with technology! I received my middle school certification in 2012 and love teaching at Lewis and Clark!!

    My interests and hobbies include reading, volleyball, spending time with my family, and playing with my three nieces, Caitlyn, Ashlyn, Jaden, and my nephew, Mason!

    My philosophy is that students are unique and learn at a variety of stages and levels. Thus, my teaching style encourages individualism and promotes students to be active learners. They will be engaged in hands-on activities and taught strategies that will best help them achieve success. I have high standards for my students and I challenge them to achieve them every day!
